A BANK in Bradford will be opening its doors to the community with a week-long back-to-school craft activity workshop.

Metro Bank, Market Street, Bradford will be running a free workshop between Monday, August 15, and Sunday, August 21.

It’s a chance for parents and guardians to relax whilst children entertain themselves with a colouring activity and fun financial education exercise.

Children are welcome to drop into the store or pick up a takeaway craft bag. In addition to decorating and gaining some financial knowledge, little ones may also be able to take a selfie with Metro Man – the bank’s mascot.

Denis Charlette, Manager of Bradford Metro Bank, said:“We’re always looking for ways to support our local community.

“We know how long the summer holidays are and we are glad to be able to offer this free event for kids.

“Last year’s craft event was lots of fun and this year will be no different. You don’t have to be a customer to come in and enjoy the event – everyone is welcome.”
